Summer dream stay
A wonderful house with all the necessary modcons but nothing unnecessary. Great location, an easy walk to the beach and surfclub. Perfectly cleaned before arrival, beds all made up and towels provided. I would definitely recommend and we will stay here again.

4 nights at Macmasters beach
Our small family had a lovely holiday . The property was well positioned and clean . The only downside was the cost. It cost over $1,000 a night to stay there which was a lot for our family .

Gem at McMasters
This property is a gem!! Modern, spacious, immaculate. Three roomy bedrooms, one with a large ensuite. Family bathroom, full laundry facilities and even a dishwasher. Quality soaps and hair products in the bathrooms to match the super soft towels. Within walking distance of beaches and coffee shops.

Perfect week
We enjoyed our stay at Macmasters beach. The house was stylishly renovated and well appointed. There was a lovely veranda at the back for a drink in the evening and another sitting area in the front courtyard. Louise (the host) was easy to communicate with. It was a lovely property to holiday in.
